FO underpowered?

I like the FO characters but does anyone else think that they just aren’t strong enough? I constantly lose in arena with a r5+ team to darth and jedi revan teams that are just g12. That doesn’t seem right to me

    Yep, FO are neutered. My favorite faction and they arent worth much without SLKR.
    Why wasn't Cobb Vanth shards a reward for the Krayt Dragon raid? Why wasn't Endor Gear Luke shards a reward for the Speeder Bike raid?

    What team are you using? I'm a FO user as well and curious. I can sometimes beat DR and JKR and sometimes not, and mine aren't relic 5.

    Not even a Relic 7 KRU, KR and Hux can beat lower relic JKR/DR/Padme most of the time.

    Could argue the same for resistance faction as well.

    Without SLKR, I'm not surprised that FO lose out against the likes of JKR/DR. Those are newer Journey squad.

    Adding in Hux and Sith Trooper probably goes someway to making them more viable. I haven't had an opportunity to invest in my FO just yet, so I can't comment much further.

    I imagine zHux lead with z FOST, FOX, FOTP, and either KRU/KR/FOO take arena 1 on newer servers, but the idea with both of those factions niw is they are stepping stones to GL.

    FO's pretty weak (yes it's better in new shards) and I really can't think of any strategic reason to farm them except for the fact that you need 5 FO for both GL Kylo and GL Rey (BB8).
    For resistance JTR with heroes is a great team though.
    Both of their fleets are very weak in older shards, but they're powerful in new ones. (My second March 2020 account used the reistance fleet with Biggs,TIE Silencer and Ackbar lead. First in rank if you don't count hypers. Way better than the Geo trio tbh)

    They're fine as they are and with SLKR they're even meta relevant. Does every faction in the game need to be a top tier team competing with GAS, SE & Co.? Also going for FO has the nice bonus that you get a good fleet that just demolishes Ackbar fleets and could become even stronger if we ever get a FO tank ship.

    I would guess that KRU/Hux/Redboi/Executioner/Stormtrooper would at least have a shot at beating JKR, if modded properly.

    But yeah, pre-Crunchwrap-Supreme-Kylo they will generally not be able to beat recent meta teams. They do squash those ubiquitous defending Nightsister teams in GA nicely though.

    From my experience i think that Hux lead is actually better vs the Revans. Shutting down counter attacks and causing your own is big for overcoming the difference in kit quality.

    I use

    KRU lead, Hux, KR, FO Stormtrooper and FOX. I sometimes switch out KRU lead with Hux lead.

    Once my Sith Trooper is 7 star, I would drop FO Stormtrooper for him. All above characters are the best FO toons.

    The worst ones are Phasma and SF TF Pilot. The remaining ones are Okay-ish (FO Officer and TF Pilot.)

  • can we please fix the GAS cheese against SLKR. 2 toons shouldn't be able to beat a full r7 Galactic legend squad? The same reason why we parched zombie. Underpowered squads to beat things isn't the intent?

    That specific GAS counter only beats a specific and in my opinion bad line-up or characters.
